RACING 



>o7 



I saw a race run without a judge in the box at 

 all once, and the odd thing was that nobody 

 noticed it except myself. On another occasion 

 the officer acting as judge at a soldier's meeting 

 owned one of the ponies. He forgot all about 

 the judge's duties, and was seen on the stand 

 cheering his rider in an exciting finish, which 

 there was naturally no judge to see, and which 

 .therefore had to be run over again, when the 

 race fell to an outsider. 



However private and friendly a meeting is, 

 rules are rules, and should be observed as 

 strictly as though the event were as valuable 

 as the Eclipse Stakes itself. 



There is one bright side to pony racing — it is 

 good for the club, and a well- managed gymk- 

 hana like those at Hurlintrham, Ranelaoh, 

 Stansted, Cirencester, or other clubs, gives a 

 good deal of pleasure, and attracts those 

 honorary members who greatly help the 

 finances of the club.
